Gasoline prices across the state are holding steady again this week. Georgia motorists continue to pay an average price of $2.97 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline.

According to this week’s report from AAA-The Auto Club Group, it now costs motorists $44.55 to fill a 15-gallon tank of gasoline, which is $7.65 more than what motorists paid in January of 2020 when pump prices hit their peak of $2.46 per gallon.

“Georgia statewide pump price averages have managed to remain stable for the past few weeks,” said Montrae Waiters with AAA. “The impact of both hurricanes and the latest increases in crude prices may spell fluctuation at the pump for motorists later this month.”

Area Gas Price Averages: Chattooga ($2.95), Floyd ($2.90), Walker ($2.88), Gordon ($2.87), DeKalb, AL ($2.84) Cherokeee, AL ($2.79).
